Ramon Casas i Carbó (18661932) was a Catalan
Spanish artist. Living through a turbulent time
in the history of his native Barcelona, he was
known as a portraitist, sketching and painting
the intellectual, economic, and political elite
of Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, and beyond he was
also known for his paintings of crowd scenes
ranging from the audience at a bullfight to the
assembly for an execution to rioters in the
Barcelona streets. Also a graphic designer, his
posters and postcards helped to define the
Catalan art movement known as modernism. In
1890s, Casas was one of many artists exercising
their artistic talents around the Moulin de la
Galette in Paris. Casas and his friend, and
fellow artist, Santiago Rusinol, constructed
several exhibitions back in their native city of
Barcelona, that exhibited their first-hand
experiences of the French culture and art. Over
time, these exhibitions quickly evolved into a
center of progressive painting scenes within the
Modernist movement. Casas became a leading figure
in the revival of Catalan culture, and was one of
the first Spanish artists to introduce French
Modernisme to Spain in the late
nineteenth-century.

Els Quatre Gats, often written Els 4 Gats, was a
café in Barcelona which opened on 12 June 1897.
It also operated as a hostel, a cabaret, a pub
and a restaurant. Active until 1903, Els Quatre
Gats became one of the main centers of Modernisme
in Barcelona.
11
The artist Ramon Casas i Carbó largely financed
this bar on the ground floor of Casa Martí
(1896), a building by the architect Josep Puig i
Cadafalch in Carrer Montsió near the center of
Barcelona. Els Quatre Gats was reconstructed
1978. Pablo Picasso visited this pubrestaurant
often in his early art career.

Els Quatre Gats was the inheritor of a legacy of
tertulias and art reunions specific to Barcelona
but also drew inspiration from the Parisian
cabaret Le Chat Noir
